Also be aware a newer Revision 2 unit is coming out soon that will do up stream MU-MiIMO and UL OFDMA as well as TWT and BSS, the original unit canot do UL OFDMA or Upload MU-MIMO, so if you have not got a revison 2 (It will say on the box and it does 160Mhz not 80+80) then maybe wait for new stock.

Thanks
